Schoch How happy are you about taking your shoes off when going through airport security? Or being selected for the full-body scan?  Apparently U.S. travelers don’t mind this and many other security precautions. In fact, two-thirds (66.2%) of U.S. travelers indicate they are “satisfied” with the level of security at airports – [...] http://carpe-travel.com/the-debate-business-travel-vs-traveling-with-kids/ http://carpe-travel.com/the-debate-business-travel-vs-traveling-with-kids/#comments Wed, 30 May 2012 20:14:54 +0000 Elaine Schoch http://travelingtheworldaccordingtome.com/?p=2061 http://carpe-travel.com/the-debate-business-travel-vs-traveling-with-kids/feed/ 1 By Elaine N. Schoch This last week The Husband and I took the kids to San Diego for a four-day weekend. It was the first trip we’ve had with both girls (at the same time), needless to say I was a bit worried about traveling with two kids vs. one.
